My friend has a strange problem with his SGS5 ...Yesterday I was with him to help him . He had the problem that ALL of his contacts had disappeared from the phone. They had all been there for the last 3 days . He has his contacts in sync with his google account. ! I went on his google to sync again , but there was not any contact there .. ONLY 7 favorites came back .. out of 75 contacts.So I went on google via his PC to check contacts .. And strange enough was only 7 friends there .. This despite the fact that he NEVER deleted a single one of his contacts in Google. They are all fine as they should on his SGS4 . And it is set up to ONLY show google contacts.So the problem is ONLY on his new SGS5 ..I copyed ALL 75 contacts from SGS4 over on his google account which I deleted google account on SGS5 and created it again . And wupti .. There were all his 75 contacts again ..But but but ... Just before he called to tell that the same thing had happened again . ! !WTF ... And again all is gone:crying: both on the phone ( SGS5 ) and his google account.What's going on ?

Do you have google sync turned on? (Its in Phonebook ->Settings or something) The same thing happened to me, I restored them twice, and then 10 minutes later I noticed that all the contacts were back, and I had 3 copies of each contact which I had to manually delete
Looks like you have a fun day ahead
yeah i had that before, giving me triple contacts, i defo made sure that google sync was off, but this is deleting all off um, im pretty sure iv deleted all the recent apps iv installed in last 24 hrs,
this really doing my nut in, jus soon as start getting it rite too
i hav checked and my sync and it is not acivated, via google or SE, it only started to do it yesterday ive deleted any recent apps i put on and i still get the problem, it will start to delete all assigned pic to my contacts then will delete them all together, this mornin it now done it three times, ? ? ?
i now jus reinstalled the software via SE updater, reinstalled my settings and contacts, rebooted my phone which it asked me to do and suprise suprise my contacts were gone again, so i now kno its not a app doing it,
Device: Samsung Galaxy S
OS : Android 2.1
Hi,
Basically I don't use google account to sync my contacts because the groups thing doesn't work the way I want it. So instead, I use Kies, which allow you to sync Outlook contact with your phone, which all worked fine.
However, last night before going to bed I sent a few sms message and everything was fine, i.e. all contacts were there. But this morning when I work up because of a text message from a strange number, which was actually from a friend of mine, so I thought he has a new number so I tried to update his contacts but when I click on "Update existing contact" my address book pops up and is ... empty.
After that, I opened my contacts and NOTHING is there.
I turned on displaying google contacts and its all fine, but when I choose phone contact, absolutely nothing is displayed.
I did absolutely nothing last night, and I don't believe I cleared all my contacts while in my sleep (because I don't even know how to do that while im awake).
Anyone has this problem before and/or know how to solve it please help .
Btw, I have been adding quiet a lots of contacts over the last 2 weeks (since last time I sync with kies) so I really need them back.
Thanks.
this just happened to me, nobody knows how to solve this problem?
login to you gmail account and see if they are still there
I updated two of my contacts cellphone numbers last week. Today I switched from my S2 to Evo 3D for a few hours and realised those two contact numbers never really got updated on my Google account. I double checked on my S2 and it was clearly showing the updated numbers, and Google account was showing the latest sync date which was a few minutes old but for some reason the change wasnt visible in my Google account which is why it wasnt showing in Evo 3D. As an experiment I edited numbers of a few other Google contacts on my S2 and surprisingly again the change wasnt visible in my Google account. Then I made a new account on my S2 and only then was that new contact visible on Google. Later I edited a few more contacts and only a few of those were synced with my Google account.
Similarly making any change on Evo 3D immediately got registered with Google with no issues at all.
So can anyone tell me WTH is going on with S2? :S
actually u have to set to google everytime u want to save new number ....

I have a galaxy S5 and It's been working great since I bought it. But today when I woke up I noticed my Facebook contacts are all gone, just gone !
I checked the Facebook account and made sure sync is on, tried to uninstall the Facebook app and installing it back, and even tried some 3'rd party apps ,,,,, but nothing worked ! The contacts are just gone :\
Hi all,
this forum is like a heaven for me , after switching from iPhone to Samsung and was stuck starching my head after purchased the NOTE 4 from CHINA .
so far i am on KITKAT , rooted , with CWM installed. I am having problem with contact sync.
i am not sure it is STOCK contact app causing this issue or the user app causing this. For example. I am using LinkedIn app , i would like this app to sync contacts with my phone book. I have few hundread contacts in linkedIn , but it is not syncing , if i try to add manually go to contact app setting and add the account of linkedIn , it shows me account with sometime empty sometime few like 10 or 20 or 39 , and sometime all disappear in the that particular group of account in contacts app.
So my question is , is this is because google is totally blocked in china , and when linkedIn send requests to Stock contact app , it has to connect with somewhere google network to let the sync happen . I am really clueless here. I was thinking to update the stock contact app but i am not sure if there is such thing available or not.
My stock contacts app showing the version number as 4.4.4-N9100ZCU1ANJ3 .
Please help me for this , i dont know its problem with linkedIn or andriod , because in my iphone linkedIn works like charm when it comes to sync new contacts and update the existing ones.
Please guide me and help me out for this matter.
Regards
and Thanks in Advance.
